Christian Benjamin
“I tell the story behind the work.”
Christian Benjamin finds the heart of things and builds around it. He directs, consults, and ships products — often all three on the same problem. His work spans brand films, AI-native productions, and full-stack software across government, sports, culture, and enterprise. His AI-directed series Sun of the Ninth crossed 4.9M views; his film direction has gone broadcast-grade with the Vancouver Canucks. He is the author of Monday: A Way Back to God, and speaks on AI literacy and creative technology, brand strategy and narrative, and faith, family, and resilience.
“Machines Don’t Dream”
An honest conversation about what AI actually is, what it means for the people in the room, and why the human capacity for story and meaning gives the model its instructions. Grounded, practical, no jargon.
“The Story Underneath”
Every organization has a surface story and a real one. Drawing on 15 years of brand work — the White House, the NFL, the UN — a talk that teaches audiences how to find the story that actually moves people.
“Begin Again”
Based on the book MONDAY. About losing someone and finding yourself in the silence that follows — adoption, identity, walking away from faith and walking back. Not a motivational talk. A real one.
“World-Building”
How do you build something that outlasts the moment it was made in? A masterclass in creative direction, brand mythology, and the discipline of building for legacy — for creatives, founders, and leaders.
